• On Twitter I follow "Disney Memories".  Its quotes from different Disney movies over the years.  Some of those things contain a lot of simple wisdom that applies to my life.

  Today is doctor day.  REALLY hoping for an adjustment (as in lowering or completely stopping) my medication.  But its also a good knee day, so a long walk is definitely on my "to do" list.

  Also on today's "to do" list-bag Leon's poop.  He has a vet appointment for check-up/shots.  And I have to bring in, as they delicately call it, a "stool sample".  To me its still poop in a ziplock.  That makes me think back to several months ago.  I had managed to clean the litterboxes and carried the bag out to the trash all by myself.  I yelled my accomplishment to Matt who said he had never seen my so excited about going out to the trash before.  But it was my first venture outside without the walker, and I was damned proud of myself.  

  Today I'm also driving myself to my doctor appointment for the first time.  iPod is all charged up.  I do have to drive across a big bridge that spans the bay which I don't like doing.  But today I'll do it.  I've been driving again for about 2 months.  I would only do very local stuff until I got new glasses.

  Ah yes-the new glasses.  Or, as I call them, those damned glasses.  I got progressive lenses for the first time and am trying to get used to them.  I can see far away, at arms length, and close up with them.  I have to admit it does make driving easier.  Before I couldn't see the dashboard to see how fast I was going, so my basic rule of thumb was to keep up with the flow of traffic.  I no longer feel like a menace on the road anymore.

  I'm still mulling over the Oscar noms.  I happened to start the book "Extremely Loud..." a couple of days ago.  Loving the book.  Had just finished "World War Z".  Really looking forward to that movie!

  Time for my doctor adventure.  Have told all 3 cats to keep their toes crossed for me!
